1.2 Equipment overview

1.2.1 With closed control flap and standard display

1.1 Equipment description

The FEK control module only works in conjunction with the weather-compensated WPMi control unit. It enables the convenient entry and display of system parameters, e.g. outside temperature, relative humidity and heating circuit parameters (e.g. heating times and required room temperature) for the heating system from the user’s living room. This allows the constant monitoring and optimising of the heating system, both in heating and in cooling mode.In addition, hooking up a room temperature enables the correction of the weather-compensated WPMi control unit.

1.3 Important information

The control module must only be installed and maintained by qualified contractors.

1.4 Operation

The operation is split over three control levels. Control levels 1 and 2 are accessible to users and contractors alike. Control level 3 is only designed for qualified contractors:

Control level 1 (control flap closed)This enables the adjustment of operating modes, such as standby mode, programmed operation, constant day or setback mode (for this, see section 1.5.1).

Control level 2 (control flap open)This enables parameters, such as room temperature, heating programs, etc. to be adjusted (for this, see section 1.5.5).

Vital facts in brief

SettingsAll adjustments follow the same pattern:Opening the control flap toggles the FEK to control level 2. The display shows the parameter “room temp.”. Pressing enables you to adjust the parameter you want to change. Press to change the value of the parameter. You can change the currently displayed value with or , when the red indicator is illuminated. Press again, the indicator then extinguishes and the new set value has been saved. You can modify further values for this parameter by pressing

or , if the red indicator has not been extinguished after saving. The programming step can only be terminated when the red indicator has extinguished.

Terminating programmingYou can terminate the programming process after entering and saving the required parameter changes by closing the control flap. However, if you want to make further changes, press one of the keys until the display shows BACK, then press . This will return you to the previous level. Closing the control flap with illuminated indicator returns the FEK into its original position. The modified value will then not be saved.

1.5 Adjustments (control level 1)With the flap closed, the display shows the operating mode, time and day, as well as the current room temperature and relative humidity.

1.5.1 Operating mode key

When connecting a FEK, only the operating modes for the pre-selected heating circuit are adopted by the WPMi.You can select the required operating mode by pressing this key several times with the flap closed. The selected operating mode is indicated by a symbol in the display. It becomes effective if the setting was not changed for five seconds.

Standby mode Frost protection for the heating operation is active. The standby symbol flashes, when the heat pump manager is in standby mode, and the operating mode cannot be adjusted. Application: During holidays.

Automatic mode Heating according to time switch program.

Changeover between day temperature and setback temperature. With this operating mode, an additional symbol (sun or moon) indicates in the display, whether the heating circuit is currently in day or in setback mode.

Constant day mode

The heating circuit is held at constant day temperature.

Application: In low energy houses without setback mode.

Constant setback mode

The heating circuit is held at constant setback temperature.

Application: During weekends away.

Control level 3 (for contractors only)This level is protected by a code and should only be used by contractors. At this level, heat pump and system-specific details are determined (for this, see section 2.5).

1.5.2 Away key

This key activates the eco mode (away). Press twice: The heating circuit switches to setback mode for one hour. The selected heating interruption is briefly displayed in hours. Press this key several times: the heating circuit switches for the respective number of hours to setback mode. If no key is then pressed for approx. three seconds, the display returns to the standard display and the active heating interruption is displayed by the flashing moon symbol.You can scan the selected heating interruption by pressing the “Away” key once at any time.Pressing the operating mode key deactivates the “Away” period and the moon symbol will extinguish.

1.5.3 Help key

Pressing this key allows you to scan sensor temperatures of the heat pump or heat pump system, such as outside temperature, actual DHW temperature, actual return temperature, actual room temperature and the relative humidity.

After you press this key, the first display is the outside temperature. Continuing to press displays, in sequence, the actual DHW temperature, the actual return temperature, the maximum and minimum room temperatures and the maximum and minimum relative humidity. The standard display returns after five seconds. The MIN/MAX values for room temperature and relative humidity are constantly updated and stored.If you hold down the key for four seconds, the top of the display shows DELETE VALUES. All MIN/MAX values will then be deleted.Any fault in the heat pump causes an arrow above the help key and the attention symbol to flash. Pressing the help key displays that fault. Three seconds later, the fault display extinguishes and the standard display returns again.

1.5.4 Room temperatureYou can adjust the room temperature by +/- 5K with the rotary selector. This set value adjustment applies to the then current heating time, not to the setback time.

With the Room temp. parameter you can adjust the set room temperature of the heating circuit for the day and setback mode.

In the Heating curve parameter, you can adjust the heating curve. The room temperature will only remain constant, irrespective of the outside temperature, if the correct heating curve has been selected for the relevant type of building. Selecting the correct heating curve is therefore vitally important.

In the Heating program parameter, you can adjust the heating program.

The Temperatures parameter enables you to scan the sensor temperatures of the heat pump or heat pump system, comparing the actual with the set temperatures, the relative humidity, etc..

During commissioning, you need to not only determine the settings of control level 2, but also the system-specific parameters. These parameters are adjusted at control level 3 by your heating contractor, access to which is protected by code.

1.5.5 Overview of system parameter (control level 2)Select the required parameter with the rotary selector. For adjustments to parameters, turn to page 6.

Temperatures

The Temperatures parameter enables you to scan the following sensor temperatures of the heat pump or heat pump system, comparing the actual with the set temperatures, the relative humidity, etc..

– Outside temperature– Actual room temperature– Set room temperature– Relative humidity– Actual DHW temperature– Set DHW temperature– Actual heat pump return temperature– System frost protection temperature

Note

No display, if the corresponding temperature sensor is not connected.

Room temperature

With the Room temp. parameters you can adjust the set room temperature for the day and setback mode. Changing these parameters results in a parallel offset of the heating curve.

The heating curve, room temperature and heating program parameters are

not shown at the WPMi heat pump manager, if the FEK is pre-selected for a specific heating circuit.

Heating program

Under this parameter you have the option of setting up a heating program, i.e:– for every day of the week (Mo, ..., Su)– Monday to Friday (Mo - Fr)– Saturday and Sunday (Sa - Su)– the whole week (Mo - Su)

You can adjust three switching time pairs (I, II, III) for each of these options.This determines when and how often the heat pump system should heat in day mode.

Open the control flap

At all other times, the heat pump operates in setback mode. You will already have selected the corresponding set values for day and setback mode under the Room temp. parameter.

Example: Your heating system should operate daily from Monday to Friday at two different times, i.e. from 05:30 h until 08:30 h and from 14:00 h until 22:00 h. For the weekend, your heating system should provide heat from 08:30 h until 21:00 h.

Heating curve

The Heating curve parameter allows you to select a heating curve for heating circuit 1 or 2. Selecting the correct heating curve is vitally important. Note: Your contractor will have set up a building and system-specific optimum heating curve for the heating circuit. It relates to the heat pump return temperature for heating circuit 1 and to the mixer flow temperature for heating circuit 2.

When adjusting the heating curve, the calculated set return or flow temperature, which is subject to the outside temperature and the set room temperature, will be shown at the top of the display.

Matching a heating curve to actual conditions Example: During spring and autumn, the return or flow temperature of a heating system is too low at an outside temperature between 5 and 15 °C, but is OK at outside temperatures of ≤ 0 °C. This problem can be remedied by a parallel offset and a simultaneous reduction of the heating curve. Prior to this adjustment, heating curve 1.0 was adjusted, relative to a set room temperature of 20 °C. The dotted line indicates the modified heating curve at 0.83 and a modified set room temperature at 23.2 °C.

FEK Part no: 22 01 93

Dimensions: 147 x 97 x 33 (mm)

2.2 General informationThe FEK is vitally important for area cooling, e.g. underfloor heating systems, area heating etc. Apart from the room temperature, it also determines the relative humidity to prevent condensation.

2.3 InstallationThe correct function of the control module can only be assured if the following are observed:

– Fitting on an internal wall (not in a recess)– No cover through curtains or similar– External heat influence is prevented

(e.g. sun, heating system, TV set)– Prevention of direct draughts

(next to windows and doors)

For fitting, remove the top part of the casing by levering a screwdriver above the opening in the bottom part.

Secure the bottom part on the wall andconnect the BUS cable.

A Fixing holesB Cable entry (knock-out)C Terminals

2.5 FEK commissioning

Only approved contractors may commission this control module and instruct the owner in its use.Not only the adjustments at control level 2 but also the system-specific parameters must be determined as part of commissioning the FEK. These parameters are adjusted at control level 3, access to which is protected by code. To reach this point, press , until you reach the “Contractor” parameter, then press . Check all parameters in sequence, Note: Not all adjustments take immediate effect. Some adjustments only become effective in certain situations or after a delay.

Code 1 0 0 0

Enter the correct four-digit code to change parameters at control level 3. The factory-set code is 1 0 0 0.After pressing (indicator illuminates), by pressing you can adjust the first digit. Pressing again confirms the value, then the second digit of the code begins to flash.

Pressing enables the adjustment of the second digit of the code, etc. The display shows CODE OK when all four digits have been entered correctly. This enables access to control level 3. Closing and re-opening the flap requires that the code is entered again. Checking settings does not require the code to be entered.

FE Correction

This parameter enables the calibration of the actual room temperature.

Room influence for FEK

Standard setting 5; adjustable from ----via “0 to 20” dashes (----) in the display: When the FEK control module is connected, the room temperature sensor only serves to capture and display the actual room temperature; it has no influence on the actual control. With any setting, you can adjust the set room temperature for the heating circuit at the FEK control module by ±5 K. This set value adjustment applies for the then current heating time, not for the setback time. At the same time, setting “0 to 20” serves to control the room temperature-dependent night setback. This means, the heating circuit pump is switched OFF at the point of changeover from the heating into the setback phase. It remains OFF, until the actual room temperature first drops below the set room temperature. Afterwards the system regulates in weather-compensated mode.If you want the room temperature to be taken into account, set the room temperature sensor influence to > 0. The room sensor influence has the same effect as the outside temperature sensor has on the return temperature. Only this effect is 1 to 20 times greater than the set factor.

Room temperature-dependent return temperature with weather compensationWith this type of control, a control cascade is formed from weather-compensated and room temperature-dependent return temperature control. In other words, the weather-compensated return temperature control pre-selects the return temperature, which is corrected by the overlaid return temperature control in accordance with the following formula:

∆ϑR = (ϑRset − ϑRactual) * S * K

Because a substantial proportion of control is already taken care of by the weather-compensated control, the room temperature sensor influence K can be set lower than with a purely room temperature control (K = 20). The figure on page 15 indicates the control method with the set factor K = 10 (room influence) and a heating curve S = 1.2.

Room temperature control with weather-compensationThis type of control offers two substantial benefits:Incorrectly set heating curves are corrected by the room temperature sensor influence K, whilst the smaller factor K provides more stable control.

However, observe the following for all control units with room temperature sensor influence:– The room temperature sensor must capture

the room temperature accurately.– Open doors and windows severely

influence the control result.– All radiator valves in the lead room must

always be fully open.– The temperature inside the lead room is

decisive for the entire heating circuit.Set the room temperature sensor influence to > 0, if you want the room temperature to be taken into account.
